President Obama Lays Out "New Patient Bill of Rights"

Today, the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and Treasury issued regulations to implement a new Patient’s Bill of Rights under the Affordable Care Act – which they say will help children (and eventually all Americans) with pre-existing conditions gain coverage and keep it, protect all Americans’ choice of doctors and end lifetime limits on the care consumers may receive.

Employers shouldn't fear that these items are a new revelation of health care regulations. They are simply a packaging of items that were already laid out in the reform legislation. For additional details click http://www.healthreform.gov/newsroom/new_patients_bill_of_rights.html
